Coaching Youth Sports

In What Size Balls Do I Need? Coach Steve Morris delivers a perspective injection for parents and coaches trying to navigate the $17 billion youth sports industry. The pressure to choose programs that will position budding athletes for success and glory can be all-consuming. Using the wisdom gained from navigating thousands of girls and boys and their parents through the gauntlet of youth sports, he has created an audiobook filled with humor and personal stories that tackles crucial topics.

Every parent dreams of their child falling in love with sports, and when the opportunity to coach a team arises, many of us leap at the chance without hesitation. However, as the season progresses—or sometimes just before it begins—we often find ourselves realizing that we might not have a clue what we’re doing.

The focus of this book is to provide you, the listener, with best practices for working with youth and athletes outside of the classroom environment. There are too many kids and athletes not receiving the support they need mentally, academically, behaviorally, and emotionally.
